Sailor Bung Box Hatsukoi (First Love) Aka Bung Box Sapphire

[lgsoltek]

One of my most recent purchase, Bung Box Hatsukoi, also known as Bung Box Sapphire. The name "First Love" actually refers to Penman Sapphire, which I never had the chance to experience, as I converted to "Inkism" only a year ago.

 

Packaging

It comes with standard Bung Box box and in an elegant glass bottle. Also a piece of paper explaining the name of the ink.

To Conclude

I like it! I think it's a very pretty blue ink. The name is appropriate and descriptive. It has nice shading, lovely sheen. The behaviour is standard-Sailor, very good.

Thank you for the review Igsoltek! I love this ink, because in wet writers it's both bright and dark (in the areas where the ink pools and where it develops a gorgeous pink sheen).

 

Also thank you for the helpful comparison at the end! I've started a list of Sailor shop exclusives to order in January and I've been thinking about getting the BB Lapis Ocean since your last review, so this keeps pushing it on the list

If this ink is a good duplication of Penman Sapphire, no wonder Penman Sapphire is so widely loved!
